Abstract: A fuel cell-use carbon fiber woven fabric, especially a carbon fiber woven fabric preferably used for the electrode diffusion layer of an electrode element in a fuel cell. The electrode diffusion layer of an electrode elemen t in a fuel cell, requiring conductivity, gas diffusing/permeating features, a nd strength that withstands handling, is formed from carbon fiber woven fabrics as is widely known. The conventional carbon fiber woven fabric poses such problems that deformation by compression is large, the dimension of a fuel cell is significantly changed by pressurizing, irregularities by weave textu re are large, and contact resistance is large. A carbon fiber woven fabric used for a fuel cell-use carbon fiber woven fabric has an average size of warps a nd wefts constituting the woven fabric of 0.005-0.028 g/m, and a woven density of the warps and/or wefts of 20 pieces/cm.

Abstract: A carbon fiber paper usable as a current collector for solid polymer fuel cells, which is out of danger of short-circuiting with a counter electrode, is not destroyed even by pressurizing, exhibits a relatively low resistance, and is inexpensive. Specifically, a carbon fiber paper for solid polymer fuel cells which is used in the cell in a state wherein the short carbon fibers of the paper are bound with a polymeric substance and which is characterized in that at least 95 % of the short carbon fibers excepting those having lengths of (Y + 0.1) mm or below satisfy the relationship: W5X, wherein X is the thickness (mm) of the paper, Y is the thickness (mm) thereof under pressurizing at 2.9 MPa, and W is the length (mm) of each short carbon fiber. It is preferable that the short carbon fibers satisfy also the relationship: Z5X, wherein Z is the average length (mm) of the short fibers. The carbon fiber paper exhibits a weight loss of 3 % or below as determined by applying a uniform surface pressure of 2.9 MPa in the thicknesswise direction for 2 minutes and releasing the surface pressure, and the short carbon fibers contained in the carbon fiber paper satisfy the following relationship: .sigma./(ED) 0.5 10-3, wherein D is the diameter (.mu.m) of the short carbon fibers, .sigma. is the tensile strength (MPa) thereof, and E is the tensile modulus (MPa) thereof.

Abstract: A porous carbon sheet obtained by binding separate carbon short fibers with a carbonization product of a resin, wherein the pore mode diameter of the sheet is 45 to 90 µm and the mean fiber diameter of the carbon short fibers is 5 to 20 µm. The sheet can be produced by thermoforming a precursor fiber sheet comprising carbon short fibers of 15 to 30 g/m2 in basis weight and a thermosetting resin of 30 to 80 g/m2 in basis weight by hot plates having a certain clearance and carbonizing the thermosetting resin contained in thermoformed precursor fiber sheet.
